In this episode of Bottle Rocket, Alena Sycheva, Stan “The Maven” Fischler and Jerry Hack sit down with author Bryan Reilly, whose novel When the Rangers Were Young reimagines the team’s earliest days with humor, heart, and historical depth.

Bryan takes us on a journey through the origins of the New York Rangers — from the team’s formation in the 1920s to the unsung heroes who built its legacy. Hear the stories of the real people behind the game, the inspiration for his writing, and the incredible connections between past and present hockey generations.
